Greg was a 1982 graduate of Thomas Dale High School and a star football player for the Knights. Greg was proud of his work as a Superintendent for SRC, Inc and was highly regarded there. He was best known for his devotion to his family and his strong work ethic. Greg lived by the Golden Rule and was widely respected for his integrity and compassion for others. One of Greg's favorite pastimes was being part of his sons' baseball games, either as a coach or raving fan. Greg was loved by all who knew him and will be sorely missed until we can rejoin him in Heaven.
